The invention of the telegraph, telephone, and broadcast signals
gave kids in mid-20th-century America a new way to play. Speak into
a device, push a button, turn a knob, and you were instantly
communicating with friends around the block or across the planet.
In most cases, it was imaginary, but adults were actually doing
it-and with the right "equipment," you were too! The 150 color
images in Do You Read Me? Vintage Communication Toys captures the
excitement of these new technologies. The art deco and futuristic
designs from the '30s through the '70s convey the wonder and
optimism of the ever-evolving communication world. String and wire
may have carried the signal, but it was the power of imagination
that really carried the message. Toy collectors, nostalgia buffs,
and retro-future fans will appreciate the price guide and
build-it-yourself communicator included with this beautifully
photographed and designed volume.
